Is an Airbus 319/320 a better option for short turnrounds than a B736/7/8?
Airbus have wider aisles and the passengers seem to be able to pass one another more easily and there is not that huge rear hold per the Boeings.
in my opinion yes mainly due to the wider aisles and the rear hold having a door in the middle.. less pressure on ramp staff for loading/unloading as theres no throwing/sliding bags over a 3-4m distance (737s for example)... not to mention that around 150 bags can also go in the rear... so theres usually no messing around with the front hold (unless things need balanced or theres an unusally high amount of bags)
